One-Step Synthesis and Characterization of Reduced Graphene Oxide/Silver Nanoparticles Using Chemical Reaction

The rGO-Ag NPs nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by one-step with a chemical reduction method. This method’s characteristics by three points are easy, short time does not exceed three mint and one-step. The rGO-AgNPs nanocomposite was analyzed with a (UV-VIS) spectroscopy. Fourier Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction, Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy EDX. The results have shown the graphene oxide has been reduced as confirmed by UV-VIS, FTIR, and XRD, and the AFM, SEM analysis confirmed the presence of silver particles in nanoscale and anchored on the reduced graphene oxide sheets with high density and homogenous.
